SADDAM HUSSEIN ACCUSED OF CRIMES AGAINS TIES

Saddam Hussein, now formally charged with crimes against humanity, is now faced with charges by irate tie makers.

“This man is guilty of killing the tie business,” a representative of the plaintiffs stated immediately after his arrival from New York’s garment district. “And the evidence is right before your eyes. Every day he shows up in court wearing a white shirt without a tie.”

Mr. Hussein defended his actions, saying, “It’s perfectly understandable why I avoid ties. I don’t want to feel anything tight around my neck, at least, until I don’t have a choice. Meanwhile, I have every right to hang loose.”
